You Hit The Spot
Love's Euphoria: You Hit the Spot with Sarah Vaughan
Lyrics
You're as thrilling as a college cheer
You have the excitement and enthusiasm comparable to a cheer at a college event.
As sympathetic as a baby's tear
Your compassion is as tender as a baby's tear, suggesting deep sensitivity.
You're as smooth as a kitten's ear
Your demeanor is as gentle and velvety as a kitten's ear, implying smoothness.
I never would trade you for all the money in the mint
I wouldn't exchange you for all the wealth in the mint, expressing the high value placed on the person.
It feels like love, it looks like love
The experience with you is reminiscent of love in both sensation and appearance.
Oh, can't you take a hint?
An indirect plea for the person to understand the romantic feelings being conveyed.
You hit the spot
You have a profound impact or influence, hitting the metaphorical 'spot.'
Like a balmy breeze on a night in May
You evoke feelings similar to a pleasant, warm breeze on a May night.
You hit the spot
You create a perfect moment, like enjoying a refreshing mint julep on a summer day.
Like a cool mint julep on a summery day
Expresses a significant increase in admiration or regard for the person.
You hit a new high in my estimation
Falling in love due to the person's outstanding qualities and achievements.
I had to fall 'cause you've got so much on the ball
The decision to fall in love because the person possesses exceptional qualities.
Oh, you hit the spot
Reiterates the profound impact, comparing it to the intensity of a first embrace during marriage.
Like the first embrace when the knot is tied
The person continues to have a remarkable effect, akin to comfort and warmth by a fireside.
You hit the spot
Emphasizes the indefinable but powerful quality possessed by the person.
Like a pipe and slippers by a fireside
Acknowledges the profound impact, comparing it to a familiar and comforting routine.
Matter of factly, don't know exactly
Uncertain about the specific quality but affirming its positive impact.
What it is that you've got
The mysterious quality possessed by the person, having a significant effect.
But, oh, you hit the spot
Reiterates the powerful impact, affirming that the person truly hits the metaphorical 'spot.'
